Bluno Basic Demo line length
diversion54 2017-04-04 11:31:50 4331 Views6 Replies Hi,
I have developed a Command Line Interface to my Bluno Nano via the Android "Bluno Basic Demo" app, and it works just great (except for one thing) !!
I can control my program with commands that I designed, like a request for text output from Serial.println(). The text will display on my Android device with Bluno Basic Demo running. I think this is a very powerful way of controlling an Arduino project wireless without having to do any Android programming.
But since the app has such a short line length ( I guess it is limited to ~20 characters) I get so many line breaks.
Could you please increase the line length to 80 characters and introduce a horizontal scroll bar ? Also, if this app could handle device "auto rotation" (portrait / landscape orientation) it would be just perfect.
Thank you for building great stuff !

2017-05-22 00:14:29 When I load the Bluno Basic Demo project in Android Studio I get an error message saying the "BlunoBasicDemo.iml" file is missing. In the modules.iml file there is line :
<module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/BlunoBasicDemo.iml"
But the target file is not included in the project on GitHub. Please advice where to find a complete project.
EDIT: Sorry, just forget this. After upgrading Android Studio I could load the project without issues.
So just one question from me :
BTW, can you tell what kind of +5 volt regulator is included on board the Bluno Nano ? Is it a pwm regulated supply or a direct current type ?

Me too was thinking of getting my hands on the source code, so I appreciate your suggestion.
But the link you provided is not correct - its links to this page...

Good day!
I got a reply from our R&D team and actually Bluno Basic Demo app is open source, we have released its source code for your further development. To some extent, the app is just an example to use, so far, we dont consider to develop an updated version app since it may need a long period. If you need, here is the app source code download link: https://www.dfrobot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2620
Sorry, its a pity.

Hi Wendy !
That is great, I look forward to an updated Bluno Basic Demo.
Sure, I will try to describe my project.
I am an amateur astronomer, and I have noted that a stepper motor in my motorized telescope mount is not running 100 % at a constant speed. I can see a *very* small sinus-like, periodic (0.6 sec) variation in the rotation speed. This is no hardware fault, it is due to the cost-minded design of the stepper electronics. This variation is making it harder for my guidescope camera to keep the mount on track with the stars.
So I have built myself a trigger circuit, connected to the stepper motor input (with an optocoupler), which feeds my Bluno Nano. My sketch is providing 10 ms output pulses, carefully aligned with the speed variations (relative to the trigger pulse "index"). These output pulses will go into the autoguider input port of the mount, which is designed for taking speed correction pulses.
Also, I will monitor the autoguider signals (four pins) with the Bluno and send statistics data to my Android pad with the Bluno Basic Demo app. And I can turn on / off different functions with the same app just by sending specific commands like "reset statistics", "set pulsewidth 12", "read delay1", "turn on" (off) etc.
The Bluno Basic Demo really has great potential for remote control of the Bluno without doing any Android programming.
